Why does it seem like Jaguar is on a painfully slow death march?  Maybe the XE will turn them around a bit.  I really like what they have done with the product but it sure hasn't translated into sales.  They will probably have the best lineup they have ever had once the XE launches and it still may not matter.

I think some of it Jaguar realizing they cannot compete at the volume that the likes of Germans can. They sit in the knowledge that they can do very well with selling a small number of vehicles.
